49 Answers to questions received at the January 2016 monthly meeting. The answers have been provided by Beth Ouellette. Carry over PDU is handled in the new CCRS as it was in the prior. Thus, in the third year of the PDU cycle 20 PDUS are allowed to be carried over.??? Are these all education or a split of education and give back? Correct, the rules around carry over PDUs are still the same any PDUs over and above required number, earned in final year, can be carried over to the next cycle (limit depends on certification). There is logic built into the system to first look for education PDUs to carry over since those will help with achieving the minimum requirements for renewal. It will carry over giving back PDUs as well, if there are not enough education PDUs to carry over. Category split for min/max Education 35-60, Give Back 0-25 There is no max or cap on the number of education PDUs that one can earn but at a minimum they must earn 35 PDUs. Giving back is an entirely optional manner in which to earn PDUs but there is a maximum number allowed, which is 25. This is for the 60 PDU certifications. If pre-defined PDU as General these may be redacted / deleted, and reentered as talent triangle. Yes, those PDUs that people see in general education can be reclassified to the areas of the talent triangle by each individual through the redact and edit button. These were basically all of the self-directed learning PDUs that people had previously entered and didn t come from a provider such as an REP or chapter that could classify the activity. Is there any thought to give an eternal status to PMPs of a certain age and experience, to not have to continue to renew or claim PDUs? Giving some sort of eternal status is not being considered. Currently there is an option to go into retired status if one has truly retired from the profession and not actively working in the field. Information on that can be found on page 17 of the CCR handbook. The synopsis is herein: Retired Status If you are a certification holder in good standing and wish to voluntarily relinquish your active status due to retirement, you are eligible to apply for retired status. To qualify, you must no longer earn primary remuneration for practicing project management and must have been a certification holder in good standing for at least 10 consecutive years. Once you are in retired status, you do not need to earn or report PDUs.

50 To apply for retired status, submit a written request to PMI by (certccr@pmi.org) or fax ( ). PMI will send you guidelines about retired status and a form to complete. There is also a US$100 processing fee. If you begin practicing project management again, you can apply for active status again by contacting PMI s Customer Care by . Once you have active status again, you will be required to earn and report PDUs. How do we ensure proper allocation of PDUs to the Triangle, especially with the self-reporting? i.e. if REP pre determines it is clear, if Chapters predetermine it is clear, if Projectmanagement.com predetermines it is clear. Otherwise, the quality will surely suffer. Allocation of PDUs that are not coming from REPs, chapters, or other providers will ultimately be determined by the individual. With this we are asking people to use their best judgment (and act ethically, of course). I am working on creating other resources that will help people with understanding how to allocate PDUs based on subject area but we are also trying to be very cognizant of not being too directive. Our goal is not to create an all-encompassing list of subject areas and how they are classified because many could straddle multiple areas of the Talent Triangle based on the precise aspect of the subject being covered. For example, change management could realistically fall under all three areas creating a change management plan (technical), creating a vision for change (strategic), and leading a change initiative (leadership).
